Dreaming Of Becoming A Publican?
Monday, November 9th, 2009Running a pub is the dream of many people seeking to give up their day jobs and move into self employment. Whether it is a public house deep in the countryside or lodged in the inner city becoming a pub landlord is an ambition for many folk.
The big problem is many would be licensees have no idea of what being a pub landlord actually entails. It is just not pulling pints and chatting with the regulars. Running a pub is very hard work and it is important to not have any illusions about the demands the job would have on you.
Pubs are part of the fabric of the British nation with a quarter of those of legal drinking age and above visiting their local hostelry at least once a week. With many regularly returning for their pint, the pub trade in the UK is huge. This means that any pub landlord faces massive competition so he has to work extra hard to ensure his is the place to visit.
A good landlord makes sure his pub has a great atmosphere. The atmosphere is as big a pull for clientle as the beer. Successful landlords recognise that fact – and that is why they are successful.
Another vitally important task is to find the right mix of entertainment. 90% of public houses in the UK serve food and more people eat in pubs than dine out in restaurants. Creating an attractive menu with well cooked food whilst maintaining a competitive pricing structure is a difficult task but one that needs to be met.
Apart from food, publicans also need to provide other entertainment for their customers. Live music, quizzes, video games, pool and outdoor play areas for the kids are just some of the options. Traditionally publicans run sports teams from their pubs such as darts, pool and football. This can entail sponsorship and providing post-match food. The trade off of course is added custom at the bar. So entertainment needs to be carefully planned by anyone thinking of becoming a publican.
One massive consideration that must not be overlooked is training both for the prospective landlord and staff. If you are selling or authorising the sale of alcohol in the UK, it is now a legal requirement to pass a licensed retailing exam and be awarded a personal alcohol licence.
These training courses are run by the British Institute of Innkeeping. Anyone wanting to run a pub must pass one of these courses which are run at various independent centres around the country.

Online Email Advertising
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Email advertising is an essential way for any business in today’s economy and business landscape. This is even more important for online companies than traditional bricks and mortar firms. The first step is to produce a set of emails that is informative and interesting to your customer. Studies show that customers need on average 7-10 contacts before they will engage in making a transaction.
The second step is actually sending out the emails. But before even this can take place a customer database and understanding of what your customer wants must be developed. For trade customers the best way to build up this list is to cold call and visit face to face. Lists can be produced using free sources and marketing list companies can often be a waste of time. For example, Wine-Bag.co.uk who sell gift packaging for wine have developed a list of contacts from various sources.
These sources include lists found on wine advertising portal magazines , such as Decanter, visiting trade shows face to face and collecting business cards, and lastly, actual people that have bought from the site. Lastly, a great way to generate leads is though the website email sign up facility. This means offering something for free in return for the customer’s details.
Once the database has been developed technology comes into play that can really take the pain out of email advertising so that you can concentrate on running your business. Email autoresponders are pieces of software that can automatically send emails out to your customers. They can be configured to feed from the database and once loaded up with all the email text, they can send emails out periodically.
They can be scheduled to send emails at different times and can even be configured to segment the database to send mails to different customer groups at different points in the week. So you can sit back, relax, and make contact with your customers with complete ease.

A Brief History of Tea and Coffee
Friday, November 6th, 2009Coffee isn?t just a beverage. It?s an art form. The same goes for tea. Tea and coffee are both social beverages which have depth and history behind them. Here?s a look at the two drinks in all their caffeinated glory.
Legend has it that coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia; the local shepherds realized that their herds, after munching on the stuff growing wild all around them, couldn?t sleep at night. Another tale tells of a man who was banished to the desert; this man called Omar, found only the coffee plant and in a bout of desperation, boiled it. The plant saved his life and the residents of a neighboring town, called Mocha, took it as a miracle.
Historians believe that coffee was first drank around 1000 AD. In Yemen (southern Arabia), Sufi monks apparently brewed the drink within their monasteries. The drink traveled to Yemen and Egypt via Ethiopia. As with so many other inventions, we can credit the Arabians for introducing the roasting and brewing technique we are familiar with in these modern times. From the Middle East, the plant spread to Northern Africa by around 1450. It then took off in Europe by way of Italy; from there it spread to Indonesia and then eventually America.
In order to protect their investment, Arabians made their coffee beans infertile by boiling them before shipping them out. According to legend, an Indian man whose name was Baba Budan defied the Arabian measures by sneaking out fertile beans strapped to his stomach. Thus came coffee to Europe through ancient Venice and the beverage boomed.
The Dutch began importing coffee in significant amounts, defying the Arab prohibition in 1616. They then took their crop to Java and Ceylon. Exports of Indonesian coffee to the Netherlands took place around 1711.
Today, coffee is ubiquitous. You really can?t go anywhere without seeing it. The art of brewing the perfect cup is something that is prided by many.
Tea has an equally colorful and varied history. It all starts back in old China. Some 5,ooo years ago, according to ancient tales, the wise emperor Shen Nung happened upon tea somewhat by accident. Shen Nung, being a wise emperor, required that all water be boiled before drinking. As the story goes, on a journey in a distant land, Shen Nung and his court were resting and water was to be boiled by the servants. Some dried leaves from a bush fell into the boiling water, rendering it brown. The emperor, a curious man, tasted the beverage and found it to be refreshing. Thus tea was born.
Tea culture was pervasive in ancient China. In 800 AD Lu Yu wrote the first guide to tea called the Ch?a Ching. The book detailed various tea rituals, cultivation methods and preparation. The work was heralded as a masterpiece and backed by the Emperor himself.
The Japanese weren?t introduced to the beverage until the priest Yeisei brought it back to his homeland from China some years later. After that tea was big in Japan.
Tea was introduced to Europe in 1560 via the Portuguese Jesuit Jasper de Cruz. From there it spread like wild fire.
Coca-Cola vs Pepsi: Who Wins in Taste Tests?
Friday, November 6th, 2009For nearly a century now, people have gone back and forth about Coke and Pepsi, each side of the debate claiming that their brand is the better of the two. Much of it comes down to a matter of opinion in the end, but we can still look at public opinions.
Let’s take a look at four of the more popular types of soda and see who wins the debate in the most recent of taste tests and surveys. Are your favorites their favorites too?
This is based on a collection of surveys as opposed to just one, so while there’s no scientific method behind my findings, you can still take these with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal opinion anyway.
Coke vs. Pepsi. This is the big one, as each main cola is the top seller for the respective brand. Maybe it’s their marketing budget, their history, or their worldwide appeal, but the taste of Coke wins out marginally over Pepsi. Some find Pepsi to taste too sweet.
Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi. A huge portion of the population prefers these diet drinks over the regular kinds, as they contain no calories and are therefore more conducive to people on diets. In this test, Diet Pepsi wins out. People state that the diet version of Pepsi simply tastes more like the real thing than Diet Coke does.
Sprite vs. Sierra Mist. There’s 7up on Pepsi’s end too, but it looks like Sierra Mist has been pushed harder in recent years. While Sprite enjoys higher sales (probably due to more recognition and a longer track record), people have preferred Sierra Mist in blind taste tests.
Cherry Coke vs. Wild Cherry Pepsi. People were very divided on this issue, though most preferred the taste of fountain Cherry Coke to fountain Wild Cherry Pepsi. This aside, Wild Cherry Pepsi marginally won out in taste tests.
That wraps up my findings. I hope you enjoyed them!
